Werewolves? What about vampires?
HeedlessHorseman replied to metacontent's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I would be all for vampires and werewolves in the game under 2 conditions: 1. Frankenstein's monster in the game 2. A rival adventuring party modeled after Abbott and Costello

The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
HeedlessHorseman replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think it looks interesting. I decided to back it as I have little hesitance to buy anything costing less than $30. An additional note: Kickstarter is now handling credit cards themselves instead of using Amazon Payments.

Windows 8 Impressions
With how much time I spent reading about Windows 8 I decided that I would end up spending more time reading more about it than just figuring it out. So I just installed it and am using it now. I was expecting it to be much worse than it is. It's actually nice. Although switching between Metro and the desktop for applications is a bit of a hassle. The biggest surprise is that it has a compatibility mode. That made me very happy as I have a lot of old games. Sites had said Microsoft got rid of it, but they decided to put it back in. There are modes from 95 to 7. I am very happy that it runs Neverwinter Nights, which was one of the reasons I was hesitant to upgrade. I will post more once I have used the operating system more.

The Name's The Thing
HeedlessHorseman replied to PsychoBlonde's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Well, due to some semantic ambiguity this may mean that you can deliver shocks to other people's reproductive organs. Also, you are forgetting about people who like electric shocks to their genitals. They might name their character Drizzt solely for that reason.

How long do you think until PE is finished?
HeedlessHorseman replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)My estimate is mid-2015.

The Name's The Thing
HeedlessHorseman replied to PsychoBlonde's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I would like a box for the character's title. For example, if I make a character named Bob the Inept. I don't want people calling him Sir the Inept nor do I want people calling him Bob the Inept all the time.

4 Mil Stretch Goal Hit, Hire Malukah?
HeedlessHorseman replied to HonestDiscussioner's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I hope that didn't discourage you from playing DA:O. 2nd favorite game of all time. Not at all after I read one review which specifically confirmed those artists have nothing to do with actual game or it's soundtrack. Reviewer obviously didn't like the promo campaign either. Many people felt this way. I remember an 80 page thread on Bioware's forums after the Marilyn Manson trailer was released. Basically all of which was people who didn't want his music in the game.

When it comes to your main character, do you prefer a Tabula Rasa?

- Characters not in party gaining experience
HeedlessHorseman replied to Infiltrator_SF's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Stories (Spoiler Warning!)The Drizzt part was probably my favorite part of the game. The flashback idea could be interesting. Although I am not sure that it would fit the mood of the game.- Oversexualization of females in video games
HeedlessHorseman replied to Hellfell's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think there should be exposed boobies everywhere in the game: Also, all female characters should have a pair of great ****:- 4 Mil Stretch Goal Hit, Hire Malukah?
HeedlessHorseman replied to HonestDiscussioner's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)That's because they are not so special. They are just good looking girls who covered some game music, which then made nerds go crazy about them. OMG GAMERRR GURRLLZZZ!! There are much more talented people out there who have something more to show for themselves than 100,000 YouTube subscribers. Lindsey doesn't need to do gaming covers to be awesome. Most of her stuff isn't gaming covers actually. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6LD2B_kDQ That's a very wet gorgeous woman who knows how to play violin really well while moving all over the place (yes, I've seen her do it live in front of a crowd). You're argument is invalid. :-P My problem with that video is that she isn't playing the violin in it. She is simply mimicking the motions. Plus, it's a bad idea to get violins wet.- The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
HeedlessHorseman replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!! I don't think fire would kill it. It would just make it yummier to eat.- Pet Speculation
HeedlessHorseman replied to chisled2bone's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)A baby Pegasus. Or a dwarf. I've always thought it would be amusing to have a pet dwarf. Who has a pet rock. Another idea is a pet undead creature. Probably a zombie. One problem is it would be very bad if it bites the neighbor. Although, depending on the neighbor's personality, it might make them more pleasant to live next to.- Did you miss out on the Kickstarter? PayPal options are still up... but not for long!
Thanks for the help! You're welcome. I had actually just done that before I read your question.- Nihilism and Atheism
HeedlessHorseman replied to Cultist's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)While the term god has been used, it does not mean that gods in this setting will be how people tend to imagine them. The might basically be extremely high-level specialized wizards. Gods could also be beings with very powerful souls, to whom death is different. Instead of being reborn as a different person each time they die, they are reborn as the exact same being. I don't think atheism is viable in this setting. The counterpart that I think has a good chance of being in this setting is people who don't think the gods are deserving of worship. That they are little more than extremely powerful tyrants.- The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
HeedlessHorseman replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It's great that you have arrived. Now we just need to get you together with Xelios, Gatekeeper of the Obsidian Order. Um... and then Fluffle's big brother will appear? Exactly.- Did you miss out on the Kickstarter? PayPal options are still up... but not for long!
What I recommend is going to the PayPal page and selecting the "Donate Your Own Amount" option to go into the $50 tier. Let them know that you have pledged the $20. It might be a good idea to include your Kickstarter account name. Make the payment for $30. You can either include the $20 for the expansion in this or you can select the "Digital Expansion Pack" option separately.- Arachnophobia, "no spiders", what should be important in P:E?
Spiders won't be a problem in this game, they will be tiny. I say this as someone who doesn't like them. I am not scared of them per se, they are just not pleasant. I think my worst video game experience with spiders was in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. You fight through a spider lair. With spiders jumping at you.- The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 6
HeedlessHorseman replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It's great that you have arrived. Now we just need to get you together with Xelios, Gatekeeper of the Obsidian Order.- Gameplay or Story?
HeedlessHorseman replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)For me, they are both important. Some games I play for stories, others for the gameplay. Ultimately, gameplay is more important in a game. I don't particularly like saying that, but books (or movies) are a better way to tell a story.- Professional Reader for the Audiobook
HeedlessHorseman replied to Thangorodrim's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I've found authors rarely can do the range of voices that some narrators can.- What do you plan to use as your starting character?
HeedlessHorseman replied to Rajaat the Warbringer's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I would rather have skalds, or a general warrior-poet class, than paladins or monks in this game. Yes. The character will be able to give an enemy a bad haircut. Thus penalizing charisma and the associated skills.- The Obsidian Order of Eternity wants YOU! part 5
HeedlessHorseman replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)As you can tell from my avatar, I'm dead. It's nice being a skeleton as I don't have to shower. Although my cigarette might drive some people off.- [Merged] Women, Feminism, etc. in PE
HeedlessHorseman replied to Chabneruk's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think the form of gender equality at the end of this video should be in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1wREUcgYgQ- Baldur's Gate Trilogy Fans Unity
HeedlessHorseman replied to Mrakvampire's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)You're welcome. I know that Steam had it for a short time (like a year). I am not sure if GOG ever had it though. - Characters not in party gaining experience
